Vibration at certain speeds

Hey guys, my 07 coupe manual has a vibration that occurs at 60km/h and then disappears but at about 90km/h it comes back with a vengeance and doesnt go away and just gets worse the faster you go. Nothing is shaking but a pretty solid vibration that is hard to ignore. It's got fairly new Pirelli P zeros and i've had the wheels balanced at Bob jane. I took it back after that didnt fix it and they they thought it was hub spacers/rings missing but that didnt fix it either. Anyone had anything similar? I'm guessing its driveshaft related as it feels like the rears are where the problem is. Any help or a place to take it to that knows what they are doing in Brissy area. Cheers guys

 These symptoms could also be caused by any one of these:

warped rotors, bad shock, bad bushes, an alignment issue, bad body mount, trans or axle mount or even too much play in the drive shaft or diff..

I know when it happen to me, it started only when driving but it took a while then it started to get worse when braking..

For me it was just warped rotors in the end..

Could be the bearing on the hub that is becoming more prominent with increased speed.

You say you feel like it's coming from the rear.

Any noise? Feels like it's on one side or both? 

Are you able to jack it up?

It feels like both sides. There's no additional noise as the exhaust is very loud anyway, but it gets pretty bad over 120km/h as in cant see out of the rear view mirror. How do i go about checking the bearings?

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
